What is hair?
Hair is a non-living tissue.
Each hair on your body grows from a hair follicle, a tiny, saclike hole in your skin.
At the bottom of each follicle is a cluster of special cells that reproduce to make new
hair cells. The new cells that are produced are added on at the root of the hair, causing
the hair to grow longer.
The living tissue that makes your hair grow is hidden inside the hair follicle. The shaft,
the part of a hair that you see, is made of cells that aren't living anymore.
Each hair shaft is made up of two or three layers: the cuticle, the cortex, and sometimes
the medulla. The cuticle is the outermost layer. Made of flattened cells that overlap like
the tiles on a terra-cotta roof, the cuticle protects the inside of the hair shaft from damage.
Cells in the hair follicle regularly produce the keratin and other proteins that become
incorporated into the hair shaft. Coloration comes from melanocytes which produce the
brown pigment melanin.
